1. Education

From Oral to Written

From Sue Watson, About.com GuideApril 15, 2007

Follow me on:

Many special educators experience difficulty when it comes to getting students with dyslexia and learning disabilities to write. Improved writing often follows improved oral skills. Take time to focus and practice activities orally before expecting their written skills.

This article focuses on the 4 types of sentences but provides you with strategies to use orally. Once children have opportunities to explore the types of sentences orally, the next logical step is to move to the written form. Keep the learning enjoyable and students are more apt to learn. For those parents reading this article, try these strategies in the car or for 15 minutes a night to help support learning at home.
